Ingredients

• 2 cups Canned fava beans
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 cups Cooked white rice
• 0.5 cup Fresh dill, chopped
• 2 tablespoons Butter
• 1 medium Onion, finely chopped
• 2 tablespoons Water
• 2 stalks Green onions, sliced (for garnish)
• 1 medium Tomatoes, diced (for garnish)
• 4 pieces Flatbread (optional, for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Rinse and drain the canned fava beans in a colander under cold running water.

Step 2

In a medium saucepan, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.

Step 3

Add the fava beans to the saucepan along with the ground cumin, lemon juice, salt, black pepper, and 2 tablespoons of water. Stir well to combine.

Step 4

Reduce the heat to low, cover the saucepan, and let the beans simmer gently for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. Use a fork to slightly mash some of the beans for a creamier texture.

Step 5

While the beans are simmering, prepare the dill rice. In a separate pan, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil and 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat.

Step 6

Add the finely chopped onion to the pan and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes.

Step 7

Stir in the cooked white rice and fresh chopped dill until the mixture is evenly combined and heated through. Season with a pinch of salt if needed.

Step 8

To serve, divide the dill rice among four plates or shallow bowls. Spoon the warm fava bean mixture over the rice.

Step 9

Garnish each plate with slices of green onions and diced tomatoes for a fresh touch. Serve with flatbread on the side, if desired.
